I suppose y'all saw the closing bid? $128.51. That's $5.59 a piece.

Some classic yellow castles (set #375/6075) haven't gone for that much.
And at least yellow castles have a full 779 pieces to recommend them,
including the rare yellow extreme slopes.

| Hey there, Get a load of this: (URL) pieces, currently going for... $71.00. Is the calendar software over at eBay having some kind of Y2K problem?
